jadedmusingsDear Death Knight staging an RP fight in Stormwind last night,
Yes, by virtue of being both undead and a Death Knight, you are correct in stating that your character doesn't feel pain quite like the living do. Furthermore, as a Death Knight you feed off pain...pain you cause in others. However, you do still feel pain, particularly if there is large enough physical trauma. Also, not feeling pain and being undead does not mean you are invincible. (In fact, I'm having a hard time thinking of anything in Azeroth that is invincible. Immortal, yes. Very hard to kill, yes. But not invincible and incapable of dying. The old gods are kept alive because killing them would mean the end of the world since those crafty Lovecraftian bastards found a way to make their existence somehow tied to Azeroth.)
Anyway, being impaled through your torso qualifies both as significant physical trauma that, even to a Death Knight, registers as more than a tickle on the scale of sensation. Furthermore, given that the undead need a functioning spinal cord in order to, at the very least, shamble and moan about brains, being impaled through the torso by anything insinuates there'd be some possible damage to a person's spine. Being impaled means you are not going to immediately jump back up in an acrobatic fashion and swing around your almost-as-tall-as-you-are sword like it was a feather.
Fine, we have magic and we have armor and we can combine the two to make people ridiculously powerful and hard to injure. However, you played out being impaled, so theoretically you ought to have been hampered just a little. So, please, don't complain when other witnesses present point out you are, in fact, god moding to a severe degree. And don't act so surprised the mage you were fighting walked away and called it quits to your fight.
We're just trying to help you,
The player of the facepalming draenei paladin.
Dear Mage,
I know, I know, you had to suffer at the hands of the aforementioned Death Knight. I'm sincerely sorry. However, if you want to start IC RP fights, how about realizing that walking into the Cathedral in Stormwind to make disparaging remarks about how "pathetic" the Light is and spitting on the floor in front of a (praying) paladin and several other priests and paladins (to say nothing of the countless NPCs) is more than likely going to get you put on people's ignore list instead of encouraging people to want to duke it out with you. Or, at least, quality roleplayers unlike the Death Knight you had the misfortune of dealing with.
To quote my toon: "Truly, I am perplexed by your behavior and wonder what it is you hope to accomplish."
Hoping you got some balm to sooth that butthurt,
Ari's player
